Washable Workwear Wednesday: The Favorite Pant Pleat Pants

There was a time when I would never, ever wear front-pleated pants. How times have changed.
Unlike the unflattering pleated pants of yore, these have a high waist, elongating front seams, and a wide leg. They’re made from a drapey and slightly stretchy material for all-day comfort. The 33” can be hemmed to fit a range of heights and comes in four colors.
These pants by Favorite Daughter are $99–$248 at Nordstrom, depending on the color. They are available in sizes 0–18.

Any recs for a duffle/overnight bag for kids?
Looking for one for my 4.5 y/o. When she was a baby baby, I ordered a small one off etsy. It is getting to be too small, so we will save it for dance/gymnastics.
Not interested in hard-sided luggage yet. Would like something washable. Maybe something that can be monogramed.
Any faves? Is it time for her to pick a Vera Bradley pattern and get a duffle that will last decades (I’m joking…sorta)?
My just turned one year old has become a biter. I know it is common but we never had the issue with my four year old. They are both home for the summer and baby will “attack” older brother at any opportunity. Legs dangling from couch? Bite. Brother sitting on floor playing? Bite his ear!
What are the best approaches here? I understand that she will eventually outgrow this but do I have to keep them sepearte until then?
Ugh, I’m hosting our first “friends” birthday party this weekend at a fun kids venue. Preschool age, so the whole class invited. The RSVP date has passed, but I still have a handful who have not RSVPed and if the non-responders all show up, we are going to be over capacity for the party room (long story how this happened). It’s going to be okay, right? Most non-responders probably aren’t coming?
Also what do I do if someone shows up with a bunch of siblings? I can squeeze a few in (by paying additional $$$) but not a ton.
Hosting stresses me out so much.
My 4 year old has been getting super disappointed when they can’t play outside at his daycare (since it’s been super hot). Any tips for helping him through this disappointment? Every night he’ll ask me if we can play on the playground tomorrow, and I’ve been saying “we don’t know, it will be the school’s decision, but it looks pretty hot so you’ll probably have extra gym time” and he gets really sad. And in the morning he wants extra assurances that they’ll be able to play outside today, which I have not been able to give. Plus this weekend we may have to move his birthday party inside because it looks like it’s going to rain. Poor kid just wants to play outside!
My 7 year old if getting a tongue tie release at the dentist next week. The dentist hasnt been really helpful about pre and post care. She just mentioned that he will need speech therapy within 2-3 days after the procedure. Also, we’re going on vacation for 3 weeks (to see family) and wont be able to physically go to a therapist, but can do stretches at home. If any of you have been through this, what was you experience like? The advice ive seen online is mostly geared for babies. Also, would you suggest moving the procedure to after the 3 week vacation? I would want him to be miserable while away, but im not sure how long it takes to recover. Thank you!!
